Abstract

Due to the disadvantages of some existing connections such as the lateral-torsional buckling of RBS connections (Akbari Hamed and Basim, 2020; Akbari Hamed and Bafandeh Nobari, 2021), Saeidzadeh et al. (2022) proposed a novel partial-strength and semi-rigid (Chenaghlou and Akbari Hamed, 2017; Eurocode3, 2005) self-centering connection which eliminates residual drifts and provides more ductility in comparison with existing connections. Considering the stable cycle behavior and the advantages of this connection, in this paper, the structural cyclic behavior of this novel connection was compared with existing connections under the applied quasi-static loading. To this aim, the verified finite element models of four connections including welded moment connection (WMC), post-tensioned strand connection (PTSC), friction damper connection (FDC) and metallic yielding damper connection (MYDC) were considered.
